BLUEBERRY BANANA MUFFINS

WITH A PECAN CRUNCH

• • • • •

I think that blueberries and bananas are one of those perfect flavor combinations
—a match made in heaven, so to speak. Try them together in smoothies, in
pancakes, and in these easy muffins with a crunchy pecan topping. I froze the
leftover muffins and reheated them a week later for a hurried midweek breakfast.
They were delicious.
